There's going to be a government compensation scheme for those who helped uncover an IT scandal at the Post Office.

The Treasury says it'll allow sub-postmasters to get the same recognition as those who had their convictions quashed.

Computer glitches wrongly suggested money was missing.

And while £43-million was awarded by the High Court in 2019, members of the group only got a fraction of it.

They included Seema Misra who ran the West Byfleet office. 

The 46 year old was sentenced to 15 months in prison in 2010 despite being eight weeks pregnant with her second child.

She spent 4 months at Bronzefield Women’s Prison in Ashford.
